Covid-19 case shuts Tshwane House again
Tshwane House was temporarily closed again after another staff member tested positive for Covid-19.
Officials were informed on Thursday about the temporary closure, two days after news broke that three City administrators tested positive for the virus.
The headquarters of the City of Tshwane was expected to reopen today following disinfection to combat the risk of more infections.
Last week the City administrator responsible for compliance, Lebogang Mahaye, expressed concern that the number of infections was gradually rising, and said it was a cause for concern.
The municipal headquarters was forced to close last month after some staff members tested positive for the virus.
At the time, the building was closed together with two other municipal facilities – Mini Munitoria in Mamelodi West and the Silverton fire station.
The surge in coronavirus infections was also affecting different parts of the municipality, with a clinic at Soshanguve Block L forced to close recently after a positive Covid-19 case was discovered.
Region 3, which includes the Pretoria CBD, Atteridgeville, Laudium, Hercules, Danville, Saulsville, Lotus and Pretoria West, continues to account for the highest number of cases in the City.
On Friday, during the City’s screening and testing drive at Ga-Rankuwa shopping centre, an appeal was made to members of the public to change their behaviour regarding the virus.
